Note that Justin is of the impression that "core" is a secret cabal :)
We've tried to educate him otherwis ... I think the last "really secret"
thing that we discussed on core was Greatbridge coming onto the scene,
everything else gets discussed on -hackers ... I really wish the Advocacy
guys would use the -advocacy list a bit more, mind you, since Justin is
right, there is alot of good that could be done, but that list has been
quite quiet ...

Bruce? Tom? Have I missed some core discussions? Justin, can you
enlighten us on these ... ? *scratch head* Since I do have available to
myself the archives of core, I'd love to go digging back if you have some
examples?
